LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS GARBAGE! We haven’t bought a garbage can in 8 years or so and it was time. We read reviews and didn’t hesitate to choose this one and also didn’t mind the price as this will last forever! I love that once you push on the foot pedal to open it and then release the pedal that it slowly shuts which is quiet and I don’t have to worry about it slamming on little fingers around here. I love to decorate and design projects and this can adds so much to our newly painted cabinets in our kitchen. Buy it!
